It seems that every so often the ocean likes to remind us of who's the boss. The Duck Pond in Charco del Palo was damaged again yesterday by the high winds, swelling ocean and high tides all three combining in making its mark on the Duck Pond yet again!. I say again because this is what happened in Feb 2015 see link Wild and Windy Weather In June 2016 there was a massive tidy up and sand was laid on the first terrace up from the pond. It all looked very nice when the work was finished. The ocean is a powerful force and we will never train it to behave. The damage this time is far in excess of anything I have ever seen in the 16 years of living in Charco del Palo. See photos below. One other thing I noticed on my walk round this morning was that the rope at the Monkey rocks has been torn away by the high seas.
